Share Price Trends
The share price experienced a significant decline from $123 in February 2007 to a low of $46.89 in February 2010. After this low point, the share price demonstrated a strong upward trend, increasing steadily each year to reach $184.99 by February 2016. This recovery and growth suggest an improvement in market perception or fundamental company performance post-2010.
Earnings Per Share (EPS) Trends
EPS showed considerable volatility over the analyzed period. Starting at $6.07 in February 2007, EPS declined sharply to $3.45 in 2008 and further dropped to a negative $22.55 in 2009, indicating a significant loss that year. From 2010 onward, EPS recovered, rising to $3.03 and continuing an overall upward trajectory, peaking at $7.29 in 2013 before slightly declining to $6.51 by 2016. The negative EPS in 2009 highlights a notable operational or financial challenge during that period.
Price-to-Earnings (P/E) Ratio Analysis
The P/E ratio exhibited fluctuations aligned with changes in share price and EPS. It started at 20.27 in 2007, increased to 23.77 in 2008, then was unavailable in 2009, likely due to negative EPS making P/E undefined. The lowest recorded ratio was 11.92 in 2013, reflecting relatively higher earnings or a lower share price at that time. Thereafter, the ratio increased again, reaching 28.42 by 2016, likely reflecting rising stock prices relative to earnings or market optimism. The variations imply changing investor expectations and risk assessments over time.
Overall Financial Performance Summary
The data reveals a period of financial distress around 2008-2009, marked by a severe EPS loss and declining share price. However, the subsequent years show recovery and growth in market value and earnings, culminating in elevated share prices by 2016. The P/E ratio trend indicates shifting investor sentiment, with lower valuation multiples during recovery and higher multiples toward the end of the period. This pattern suggests improved operational performance and enhanced investor confidence after the financial downturn.
